Tips and Variations

  • Add a handful of spinach at the end for extra vitamins.

  • Add chilli flakes for a warm and spicy finish.
  • Stir in a spoon of natural live yoghurt on top for extra creaminess.
  • Replace the vegetable mix with fresh vegetables if you have them on hand.

Meal Storage

Keep the cooked ragout and bulgur in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days. It keeps the texture right. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Freezer tips

The ragout freezes well for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely, then put it in freezer-safe containers.

Defrost the ragout in the fridge overnight, then reheat until hot. If you’re short on time, you can reheat it straight from frozen on low heat. Add a splash of water if it looks dry.
